While I don't have any ideas, being a newbie, but it is very pretty and I have seen it in person at my JoAnn's store. . Can't wait to see what you make with it.

Beautiful fabric!! Reminds me of some very old fabric I have that is similar, except mine is in shades of aqua and teal. Please show us what you do with this.

I made a Warm Wishes with a paisley as the focus fabric and coordinating solids and a coordinating pattern as the other fabrics. Here's a photo, in case you're interested. Hard to tell here but the pink is patterned, the green and purple are solids. [ATTACH=CONFIG]433139[/ATTACH]

Oh, that turned out beautifully!!! I've done Warm Wishes before but never even thought about it, for this fabric. . . but I LOVE the way yours looks! I'll have to keep a snippet of the fabric in my purse, for colors. Thanks for the idea and the picture!

I just did a large carpenters star with the lavender paisley piece today. I used a lighter lavender and a white on white as the background. I started with 7 1/4 inch squares, made my half squares and squared them to 6 1/2.

Ooooh . . . that sounds awfully pretty, too! Thanks! Would love to see a picture, if you have one!
